Denver is a wonderful Jack Russel Terrier mix! At 10 years or so, and 18 pounds, he is still a spunky, fun loving little fellow! He loves all other dogs, cats, and humans, and would most likely even do well with pocket pets.

He is housetrained if kept on a fairly frequent and consistent potty schedule. He likes a nice walk and sniff around, and is adorably wiggly when greeting you upon awakening or your return home. He has a great and non-picky appetite, and loves a treat after being a good boy! He is all recovered from a neuter, dental with only a few extractions, and double "cherry eye" repair. He is currently not on any medication, but an adopter should keep an eye on a slight tendency toward itchy skin.

He came to a local shelter recently as a stray, and his foster family wonders how anyone could lose (abandon?) such a precious little nugget. He would make a terrific companion for any single person or family, as he is happy both next to you on the couch or trotting beside you on a nice day! He does not seem to have any anxiety, or need a crate, when he is left alone. Little barking has been noted, usually only as he awaits that all-important mealtime. He happily would sleep either in a dog bed, or your own! Or the cat's lounger!

Denver's foster family sees him as the perfect little pup. I think you might, too! Won't you make his holiday season bright?
